Hi friend! Here’s a list of all of my hair care faves and the full routine! While I try to choose natural and organic options as much as possible, with my hair care, I’ve kind of swung a little in the opposite direction. Below is a mix of the most natural organic stuff you can find… and the opposite. Balance, baby.

Wash routine:

I used to only wash my hair once a week. After visiting the Korean head spa and having my scalp scanned, I’ve changed my ways lol. I wash it twice a week now.

Shampoo and conditioner: Nexxus

I have thick hair and I’ve been using this Nexxus shampoo and conditioner for years. I want a THICK conditioner, not one that feels like water.

*Once a week, I use my products from Korea, but I’ve been trying to make them last. Everything is linked here.

Every other wash, I add in a mask. This mask and this mask are my two favorites. If I’m feeling extra, before my shower, I’ll mist my hair with water, add in the mask, and Saran Wrap it around my head for 30 minutes or so. I’ll wash and condition like usual

After washing:

Leave in hair treatment

Add in hair oil (either Moroccan oil or the oil from Trader Joe’s)

Let air dry, and use heat protectant before styling with the Read more

Hiiii! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We have a family dinner, Liv and I have a volunteer event for NCL, and I’m subbing a barre class. I hope you have a lovely and relaxing weekend ahead!

Some pics from lately:

Lola in the dryer….

(Whenever I do laundry, she runs into the laundry room to hunt for more socks to eat. She’s eaten two.. that we know of. So, I’ve been watching her like even more of a hawk than usual. This dog, I tell ya.)

A javi sighting!!

We always say it’s good luck when we see javelina, and one night driving home, we saw 12! We sat in our cars and watched them eat for a while.

Fishing with the fam at Tanque Verde Ranch. EJ was the only one who caught a fish (a tiny one!) but it was a very exciting moment.

Pool day with P and a friend at La Paloma:

Hiiii! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend?

The Pilot is home from a trip (YAY), and we’re just hanging out this long weekend. We’ve been traveling a ton lately (and were honestly looking forward to another short trip this weekend!) but I’m looking forward to a low-key weekend at home with the crew. Our friends are having a housewarming party, we’re going to see the new Spiderman movie and the kids are planning on swimming with friends. I’d love to hear what you’re up to!

(Fun Farm Rio skirt from my last RTR shipment!)

I owe you guys a huge update, but I’ve been hard at work behind the scenes on my new coaching program. I’m completely revamping everything, adding in new support options and layers, and can’t wait to share it with you.

Hiiii! Happy Friday! How are you? I hope you’ve had a lovely week. It’s been a busy one over here. Behind the scenes, I’ve been working on a new program (more to come soon), subbed a barre class, and have the wrangling the crew. The girls are busy and thriving with school and their extracurricular activities, Lola is… on her doggy period (joy lol), and the Pilot has been traveling a lot.

We were able to get in a brunch date this week at the Hills, which was amazing. They have great food and a cozy vibe.

The rest of the weekend will be spent poolside, prepping for a content shoot on Monday, NCL event, and my dad’s bday dinner.

8.28 Friday Faves

Fashion, beauty, random:

Girls’ night! The perfect night of wine, chatting, and creme brulee at Fleming’s. The funny thing is that I hated creme brulee for YEARS and now that I’ve been gluten-free for three years and it’s usually one of the only gf desserts on the menu, I’m now a huge fan.

(skirt is old from Anthro but shoes are here!)

Another Olive & June nontoxic gel mani for the win. (It only lasts about 5 days but perfect in a pinch)

Hiiii! Happy Friday! How are you? What’s going on this weekend?

We’re finally finding our groove with the kiddos back in school and the Pilot’s travel schedule. Liv is back in dance, P is taking a break from basketball to play soccer, and we’re already looking forward to fall break. This week, I’ve been diving back into work stuff (some exciting things on the way!) and also met up with some friends for lunch and juice which was a nice lil treat.

Last weekend, we went to KCON in LA! Our two K Pop fans wanted to go, so we took a trip to LA for the weekend. It was pretty cool: SO many bands performing on various stages, food and beauty vendors, and a huge arena concert featuring the headliners from each day.

The lines to get in were the craziest lines I’ve ever seen. There were thousands of people still lined up when we arrived, which is reason to skip it next year or get the Express Access pass.

Once we got inside, it was a lot of fun. Liv was able to see so many groups she loves, and P enjoyed walking around with us, checking out the vendors, eating all of the tasty food, and popping into the mini concerts throughout the day.

I knew she’d been tired from an early flight, so I only booked two tickets for the arena concert Saturday night. Liv would want to rally and P would want to chill, which was fine with me lol.

The Pilot took Liv to the concert, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out that I accidentally bought VIP executive suite tickets. I was just trying to buy tickets that weren’t in the nosebleed section and got them from a resale site.

After waiting in line for so long earlier in the day, I was so pumped that they were able to walk right in! They also had awesome seats for the concert. While they were watching the show, P and I were back at the hotel in jammies wearing face masks, watched Great British Baking Show Juniors and playing dress to impress on her iPad.

This guy is such a good sport.
